Hope zemo gets a regular release at some point. He's the only one i wanted really bad from that set

Jimmyo · 07-13-2012, 02:15 PM

Now that we are getting the Inhumans what are the odds of us seeing Lockjaw and the pet avengers?

We already have redwing, Ms. Lion and with Thor frog already shown last year they only need Lockjaw and Hairball

Fucking capitalists. Fuck this hobby. I'm sick of the sharks. I will not feed this machine anymore.

I'm done, people. Tapping out.

Dude, I would have hooked you up. Are you here now?

oh the irony.

Torn Prince · 07-13-2012, 02:29 PM

will never score that X Force set...only really wanted two of the MOE figures...Zemo and Radioactive Man. Not giving up though. Someone has to know something. Scalpers...possibly bastards? Must investigate further. Hurm.

I guess. It all depends on who that 1 guy is. Swp wasn't the only one with that info, h e was just one of th e first to share. I don't fault him for that.

difference is at con u expect Hasbro to limit the exclusives so there can be enough product. Homie was waiting in line for hours thats the difference.

no,there is no difference bro,scalping is scalping,if I am understanding this right,hasbro said there was no limit to how many exclusives one could buy,so they got bought up quick right?if that is the case thats just plain capitalism on hasbros part,nothing more,how did your friend miss out if he was "waiting in line for hours"?

uberlad · 07-13-2012, 02:57 PM

So to sum things up, people charge too much for shit and that's sad. We've all boo-hooed in our own ways at one time or another.
On another note...
I'm pumped for Mysterio, and I noticed he's the first wave of 13, which is traditionally the wave that hits before the massive multi-month toy drought. Wahoo!

I agree with you there! Kraven and now Mysterio, I'm kind of surprise they don't do a regular MU comic version of Venom, and not just Dark Venom.

I don't fault him for sharing at all, and have nothing against the guy. I just thought he came across a little too "this will definitely happen" than just sharing info. People did jump down his throat though, so maybe he just got a little defensive.

Either way,.. I'm looking forward to what they showed us at last year's con as well as this one. Now let's get those action figure making machines cranking, Hasbro!

Agree with you there! Really surprise they didn't reuse Psylocke's mold for her, glad they didn't.

Scalpers exist in all walks of life, what we need to do is pool together and scalp as one unit so that we all get the product at cost + a little something for thr guy or girl doing the footwork.

I am stuck over here so getting scalped is a fact of life if I have to buy from Ebay

Dang that does suck being out of the country...

Ya that's one of the reasons that persuades me not to go...

They haven't shown us the new MU's for the panel yet...

Boba Fettuccini · 07-13-2012, 03:16 PM

Mysterio is going to serve as the base for a new improved Loki when he comes out. It shall be so.

What's wrong with the 4 pack/giant battles version? It looks pretty legit to me

Don't forget Lockheed, and we'd need Zabu too

We already have Lockheed, My daughter has a sabretooth tiger she uses for Zabu but an official Ka-zar and Zabu 2 pack would be quality.

Veronica Mars · 07-13-2012, 03:46 PM

I'd like to see a Ka-Zar/Shanna/Zabu 3 pack even

what is the name of this store i must find it!!!!!

Jimmyo · 07-13-2012, 03:55 PM

Hasbro wont even give us a Emma Frost so the chances of getting Shanna in a little fur Bikini are real slim.

Scarlett is doing a Devil Dinosaur custom over the summer holidays if she gets the time (I just love how many obscure characters super-hero squad has introduced her too)

Veronica Mars · 07-13-2012, 04:03 PM

They could announce Emma Frost at panel tomorrow

They've made both in the 6" line. Can't see why they wouldn't put them in the 4" line at some point.
